It makes sense.
Why Somatic Therapy? After spending the past five years studying, exploring, trying out different complementary modalities, why have I decided to focus my practice on this one?
Here are some of the layers of my answer.
I’ve talked myself and others in circles and tied myself up in knots. For those of us who think and process very deeply, talking can get too much.
I’ve felt the exhaustion of rehashing past pain, re-traumatising myself trying to understand. Some things are just not explainable or resolvable in cognitive terms.
I’ve worn myself out trial and erroring different tools and strategies based on advice and suggestions from others. There is so much out there these days, we could never try it all.
I’ve felt the frustration of never really knowing if we were on the right track. Having what I’ve learned contradicted at every turn. Spent hundreds of dollars at a time and then stressed about whether it was worth it or if I’d been scammed.
With this modality, the talking through, the rehashing, the digging it all up isn’t necessary- we try to avoid it actually.
With this modality we get straight to the need, stay right in the present moment, get the advice from within you.
With this modality we learn to shut out the noise and focus in on the truth.
What you already know, what your body remembers, how it wants you to unravel and unwind.
We follow its guidance, we honour its truth. Your body moves and shifts and hands you back the space that has been filled by your unheard, unmet stress. It hands you back some breathing space to fill with what you actually need.
